On Campus
There are approximately 25,000 students in Bergen. About 14 500 of them are students at the University of Bergen. They are a familiar feature of Bergen's urban landscape, but most of all, you will find a lot of activity in the more than 160 organizations, societies, clubs and associations that the students are responsible for.
As a part of a general learning environment, several welfare services for students are being organized. SiB is partly financed by funds that the students pay as semester fee. Currently, each student pays NOK 470 to SiB. (Exchange students are as a rule exempted.)
SiB is responsible for housing, nurseries, cafeterias, sports facilities for students and employees, and for counselling services. SiB pays out refunds on medical bills. There is also a health fund which may help students who have had high expenses related to physiotherapy, chiropractor or dentist treatment.
The University of Bergen's Service Statement provides an overview of offers, services and assistance that the University is required to give the student, as well as what the University expects from the student in regards to academic behaviour and efforts.
